LOS ANGELES - Another issue erupted this week with Apple's newly overhauled iOS7 software, which runs the iPhone, iPad and iPad Touch. Messages sent from phone to Apple devices and computers - iMessages - aren't all being sent or received.

Apple confirms the issue, and says it's working on a solution.

"We are aware of an issue that affects a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users, and we will have a fix available in an upcoming software update," says Apple in a statement. "We apologize for any inconvenience this causes impacted users."

The iMessage program lets Apple device and computer users send texts for free over Wi-Fi. And unlike most text programs, Apple's advantage is that texts can go from phone to phone, phone to iPad and iPod and even to the Mac computer too.

Folks who switched to iOS7 also have complained of dizziness from the new animated graphics and a general slowdown of their device on older models of the iPhone.
